A Dreams Come True PhotoWhat do you observe, not to become a reality – the dream of a company is created by you no exception. Dream of owning a business grow smoothly until someone finds a way to make it grow in the results. If you are looking up and down every street shop or over the Internet, you can see this truth. Few, if any, the business it was forty years ago. Someone dreams into reality.

Unfortunately, not every business is as fulfilling as the original dream. While working long hours for someone else as a technician for the wages per hour, and perhaps some of the benefits or vacation, most people think, “Gee, someday I will have my own business, and I do not need to do,” then by some means they get their own business, and without careful consultation., they find they now work longer and earn less money and less vacation. You are a technician in our own design.

There is no one to relieve them of the consequences of their decisions and commitments that now her boss.

How can you avoid this dilemma? By building an organization that functions effectively as a franchise. By creating a business model that other duplicate, the placement means every step of every process in writing. With the construction of a prototype. The product itself was run on the second place for themselves how business processes. The rules of business processes, not products.

Key elements to create this kind of business are: (1 to quantify) all! How much of this, how much of it, tracking is writing exactly what is happening (for example, as many customers, or come in during the hours per day, peak hours, how many customers turn to the right, after hiking in the door is and how many left), (2) an organizational structure on what to do, not on it (to the personality of the company is the limit have built progress is based, even if it is “personality”), is (3) consistent (the color scheme of equality in all things – a web page, letterhead – vehicle – the uniform – the color on the walls – a chair).

Build an image that was in the minds of customers. McDonald’s reputation as a prime example of the above. This picture is consistent: they know exactly how many ounces each item sold in a day, and most productive hours. Staggering the sales of the Spirit This service is identical. And McDonald’s in London, one in China to Brazil, the customers expect the exact same product.

Entrepreneurship new business with only one or two people can be developed with the same precision. If not, the person who plays a mix of owner / Boss / caretaker is likely to remain a technician with shattered dreams.

By not working on a business, in it, can broadcast the new owner / chef of success, there is a happy time with their family life, and some even enjoy a vacation per year.
